Health & Wellness on the Cutting Edge: Thryve x EverlyWell x Nima Sweepstakes
Ericca Steele
The ‘traditional approach’ to health and wellness is constantly evolving. More often we are seeing that consumers are taking charge of their health at home— doing research, performing self-advocacy, and finding the tools that help them feel better every day. Thryve is excited to announce we have partnered with two other leading companies in this revolution to launch a sweepstakes: Health & Wellness on the Cutting Edge.
Each of the companies has a taken cutting edge approach on how people can assess and improve their health, together we have teamed up to offer one exciting prize package! This prize package includes: a Nima starter kit and one refill capsule pack, a food sensitivity test from EverlyWell, and a gut test kit plus a one month supply of probiotics from Thryve. More information on each item follows, along with details on how to enter.
Thryve
Thryve helps people learn about the microbes inside their body to improve health. They offer a monthly subscription that includes microbiome testing and patented probiotics. Thryve uses 16s rRNA sequencing on the v3-v5 strands of bacteria to gain species level accuracy in the gut. Furthermore, Thryve has developed their own proprietary liquid buffer that provides mode depth and accuracy for sequencing methods vs. traditional dry swabs and antibiotic buffers in other collection methods. Thryve provides insights into bacteria/yeast, intestinal permeability, and dietary/supplement recommendations. Lastly, Thryve has partnered with one of the world’s leading probiotic research and manufacturing companies to co-develop their proprietary 100B CFU and 15 strain probiotic that have shown in studies to improve gastrointestinal health, immune support, and many more.

Nima
Nima, a connected food sensor, allows you to test your food on the go, anytime, anywhere for gluten. People who need to avoid gluten now have an extra data point before they take a bite. Nima tests for gluten in liquids and solid foods in just a few minutes. You can also share and search test results in the Nima app from others in the community.
Nima has two components: an electronic sensor and a one-time-use capsule, which contains proprietary chemistry to run the test. First, you take a pea-sized amount of food or liquid and put it into one of the capsules. Twist on the cap, and insert the capsule into the sensor. After pressing start, you’ll wait about three minutes. If Nima detects any gluten, it will display a wheat symbol. If Nima shows a smiley face, the sample is less than 20 parts per million of gluten — the FDA guideline for gluten-free foods.
After testing, Nima syncs with your iPhone via Bluetooth and shares the results with other Nima users across the country in a mobile app, creating a crowdsourced database of gluten-free friendly foods. You can search for restaurants, see your previous test results and find new recommendations nearby.
Nima will be launching a sensor for peanut later in 2017.
Prize donated by Nima
The winner of the Health & Wellness on the Cutting Edge Sweepstakes will win one (1) Nima Starter Kit for gluten containing the sensor, three one-time-use capsules, a charging cable, and a carrying pouch, and one (1) refill capsule pack containing twelve one-time-use capsules. The value of these items is $351.95.
